The owner of this crane must know federal, state and local rules. When your
equipment is in operation, the area must be safe for employees and non-employees.
Do not cause damage to other equipment or local structures while you operate this
crane. The rules change by location and this manual does not give that data.
ZOOMLION makes manuals for different construction and industrial equipment. It is
policy to include applicable national consensus, industry standards and safety data
with the manuals. Use these data to give applicable training to personnel who are to
operate, do the maintenance and supervise the equipment correctly and safely.
We make equipment for heavy-duty labor. Do the periodic inspections regularly
because the equipment wears. This prevents accidents, decreases downtime and
helps equipment work satisfactorily. The goal of these inspections is to find worn,
cracked, damaged parts and loose or missing fasteners before they cause a problem.
Correct training and inspection procedures are necessary to prevent injury to persons,
property damage and high maintenance costs.
Read and understand the data that comes with this crane. Help is available from the
distributors of your ZOOMLION crane and from the ZOOMLION Mobile Crane Branch

If you cannot find or correct the problem, send the vehicle for repair.
(5) Check the following instruments for functions:
(6) Monitor the indicators / gauges that follow:
Caution
Stop the engine if the engine oil pressure low indicator illuminates.
Caution
The engine oil pressure low indicator illuminates if the engine oil filter
screen is dirty. If this occurs, examine the engine oil pressure. If it is in the
correct pressure range, check and clean the engine oil filter screen.
(a) Engine oil pressure low indicator:
1
Not illuminated.
When the engine runs at idle, the minimum oil pressure is 55.1 psi (0.38
MPa). When the engine runs without a load, the minimum oil pressure is
10 psi (0.069 MPa). If the pressure is less than the minimum value, the
indicator illuminates. If this occurs, stop the engine. Measure the level of
05 - 5
the oil in the engine and check for leaks. If the oil level is at the correct
level and there are no leaks, it is an unserviceable lubricating system.
Send the crane to the factory for repair.
(b) Engine coolant temperature gauge
1
The coolant temperature must be between 158F and 203 F (70C and
95C). Do not move the crane at high speed when the coolant
temperature is less than 158F (70C).
Do not operate the engine at high speeds without a load for extended
periods of time.
Caution
Do not move the crane at high speeds with a heavy load until the engine
coolant temperature is a minimum 158F (70C).
3
When the coolant temperature is in the yellow area, between 203F and
212F (95C - 100C), the engine is too hot. Park the crane. Operate the
engine at a RPM immediately above idle to help cool the engine. Or, as
you move, put the transmission in a lower gear range to decrease the
load on the engine.
Caution
Do not stop the engine immediately when the engine coolant temperature is
above the maximum limit. If you stop the engine, the coolant temperature
increases suddenly and damage to the engine occurs. Operate the engine
at a RPM immediately above idle to help decrease the coolant temperature.
4
When the coolant temperature gauge points to the red area, between
212F and 248F (100C - 120C) continuously, it shows that the engine
is above limits. If you stop the engine, the coolant temperature increases
suddenly and damage to the engine occurs. Operate the engine at a RPM
immediately above idle to help decrease the coolant temperature.
When the coolant temperature goes back to the green or yellow area, do
the items that follow:
Examine the engine area for leaks.
Examine the function of the thermostat.
Check the coolant level.
Check the fan belt for damage.
Make sure that the fan belt is not too loose.

Caution
Do not add a large quantity of cold water to the engine if the engine coolant
05 - 6
temperature is above the maximum limit. This can kill or blind you and
cause damage to the engine.
(c) Low engine coolant:
Caution
Use soft water, e. g. tap water, for coolant. Do not use hard water (river
water).
1
Do not add a large quantity of cold water too quickly. When it is

necessary to add cold water, put the water in slowly. Follow the below
instructions to add coolant:
Put together water, antifreeze and/or anti-rust fluid in the correct

ratio.
Loosen the cap to the coolant tank with a wet rag to release the
pressure in the tank. After you release the pressure, continue to
remove the cap. The fluid released is hot and pressurized and can
cause burns or blindness. Always keep your face away from the cap
on the coolant tank.
Add the water mix to the applicable coolant tank fill-line and then
install the cap.
Caution
Do not operate the engine continuously at high speeds without a load.

(7) Put the crane in a lower gear before you move up a slope to decrease the
load on the engine and drive-line.
Note
Make sure that the RPM of the engine is around maximum when you move up a
slope.
Caution
Do not bypass gears when you move to a lower gear.
Slow the crane down before you change to a lower gear.
(8) Do the items that follow before you go down a long hill slope:
Make sure that the brake system can stop the crane before you go onto the
slope.
Put the transmission in the F1 position before you go down the slope.
(9) Know the below data while you steer the crane:
When you go into a corner, put the transmission in a lower gear and apply a
small quantity of pressure on the brakes.
05 - 7
The steering wheel has a mechanical limit. Do not continue to turn the wheel
when at the limit. Do not keep the wheel at the limit for long periods of time.
(10)
0) If the engine stops because the fuel tank is empty, air can go into the fuel system.
When this occurs, you remove the air from the fuel lines.
(11) When you move the crane between locations, only one person is approved to be
in the cab.
D. CRANE MOVEMENT IN OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS
When the rear axle is in the mud (no traction) or on rough terrain, follow these steps:
E.
Put the transmission in the F1 position. This applies more torque to the drive
system.
Put the vehicle in the "4-wheel drive" mode.
Tow the vehicle or put rigid materials, e.g. pieces of wood or iron plates, below
the wheels.
PARK THE VEHICLE

Caution
Make sure that the hazard indicator illuminates when the vehicle is parked on the
road at night.
(1) When you park the vehicle, follow the instructions below:
In bad weather condition (rain, snow, ice) or on a slope, make sure that there
is a lot of clearance in front and to the aft of the vehicle.
Put the park brake switch to the "P" position and put the chocks against the
wheels.
Put the transmission in the "neutral" position.
(2) Before you stop the engine, do the items that follow:
F.
Push the accelerator pedal 2 or 3 times to increase the engine RPM. This
makes the oil flow into each part of the engine.
Let the engine idle while you monitor the coolant temperature.
Stop the engine, when the coolant temperature is in the correct range.
Put the battery master switch to the OFF position.
EMERGENCY STOP ON THE ROADWAY

If the crane malfunctions on the roadway, do the items that follow:
05 - 8
Set the hazard lights to ON and put the safety triangles in position.
Set the park brake if you stop because of a drive train (drive shaft, axle) failure or
you make an emergency stop on a slope. Put the chocks on the wheels.
Examine the vehicle to find the part that caused the malfunction. Be careful of the
road conditions while you move around the vehicle.
If you cannot repair the vehicle, tell the servicing and repair facility.
G. PREPARE THE CRANE FOR OPERATION

(1) Examine the items that follow:
Engine oil for correct level and make sure that it is clean.
Coolant for correct level.
Fuel tank for correct level.
Hydraulic oil tank for correct level.
(2) Start the engine and check for noises and vibrations that are not usual. If
necessary, engage the PTO.
H. WHEN THE CRANE IS IN OPERATION
(1) Personnel must stay away from the area below the boom.
(2) Do not let personnel on the superstructure while you operate the crane.
(3) Personnel must stay away from the reach of the boom.
(4) The crane, with extended outriggers, must be on the ground with a slope of less
than 1.
(5)
5) Do not move a load above personnel.
05 - 9
(6)
6) Do not move personnel on the load or other equipment used to lift.
(7) Do not use the crane for the tasks that follow:
Lift a load that is above the capacity of the crane.
Pull a load at an angle.
Lift a load that is not in balance.
(8)
8) Do not try to lift a load that is buried or frozen on the ground.
(9)
9) Do not extend / retract the boom with a suspended load.
05 - 10
(10)
0) Keep no less than 3 wraps of wire rope on the drum.
(11)
1) When the load is off the ground, do not adjust the hoist mechanism brake.
(12) When the load is off the ground, the operator must stay in the cab.
(13)
3) When the job-site is near live power lines, you must keep a safe distance. Make
sure that the dangerous area has a cover or is fenced off.
(14)
4) When the load is off the ground, move the load in a slow and smooth direction.
(15) Constantly monitor the system gauges and indicators, when the crane is in
operation. If you find a malfunction, stop the operation.
(16) A noise sounds when the load is at 90% of the capacity of the crane. When this
occurs, be careful as you continue to lift.
(17) If the crane was changed, do not operate the crane until approved personnel
examine the changed part.
05 - 11
(18)
8) Stop the operation or do not start to lift a load, if one of the items that follows
occurs:
05 - 12
An overload or if the weight of the load is unknown.
The load lift moves out of position, the rigging becomes too loose or the load
is out of balance.
The protective material between the edges of load and wire rope is missing.
The light level at the job-site goes below a safe work condition.
Equipment malfunction or damage to the crane that decreases the safe

operation of the crane.
I.
TROUBLESHOOTING ENGINE
If failures occur during crane operation, stop working immediately and remove the
safety hazards. At the same time, disengage the PTO for transmission and make the
engine run at idle speed. After that, check control instruments, e.g. transmission oil
pressure gauge and engine coolant temperature gauge, etc. for functional work.
Caution
It is a normal phenomenon that the engine oil pressure low indicator lights up
when starting the engine with the PTO engaged. The warning indicator will go
off after the oil pressure increases to the specified value.
(1) The illumination of the engine oil pressure low indicator indicates that the engine
oil pressure decreases abnormally. Bring the vehicle to a standstill immediately
and contact the manufacturer or specialized repair factory.
Caution
Do not turn off the engine immediately when it is overheated. Otherwise, the
engine will be sintered caused by sudden raising coolant temperature. Check
for leaks when the engine is running for cooling. Stop the engine after the
coolant temperature decreases. At this time, reinspect engine coolant level and
check fan belt for damages and loosening.
(2) When the engine coolant temperature gauge points to the red area, cool down
the engine at the RPM a little higher than the idle RPM.
Caution
Points for attention when adding coolant:
Use proper coolant.
When the coolant temperature is extremely high, hot water will spray.
Therefore, tighten or loosen the radiator cover using a piece of cloth.
Otherwise, there is a risk of burn hazard.
05 - 13
This part of the chapter is to show you the controls and instruments on the crane. This is
only a small part of the data that you must know before you can safely operate the crane.
Do not operate the crane until you are trained in all the other sections of this manual.

RESULT: - The heater is ON.
Turn the A/C FAN SPEED / MASTER SWITCH (1) counter-clockwise
between 3 fan speed (HI, MID, LOW) to get the correct temperature.
Do not disassemble an A/C system that is in the Warranty Period

without consent from the A/C manufacturer.
Examine the condition and tension of the compressor belt at a regular
interval. If necessary, adjust the tension on the belt.
You must clean the condenser at a regular interval.
You must use the same type of refrigerant and compressor oil to
complete the repairs on the A/C.
Set the FAN mode to HI when you first start to cool the cab.
Do not use the parts to repair the A/C system that are not approved by
the manufacturer.
When you use the A/C function where it is cool and has a high level of
humidity, examine the evaporator at a regular interval. In these
conditions, the evaporator freezes and causes a blockage for the air
that goes through it.
If you operate the crane in a cold area or in the winter season, set the
A/C system to ON for 10 minutes each month.
Make sure that the A/C is in the OFF mode when the engine is OFF or at
idle speed for a long time. The battery drains in these conditions.
When you move the crane a long distance at low speed, with the A/C in
the ON mode, put the transmission in a low gear. This increases the
engine RPM and decreases the load on the transmission.
06 - 8
Set the A/C to the OFF position when you do one of the items that
follow:
Move the crane quickly.
Move up a long hill slope.
Make sure that the refrigerant in the A/C system is at the correct level at
regular intervals.
If there are unusual vibrations, noises or smells during operation, stop
and examine the crane immediately. Do not operate the crane that has a
malfunction.
Keep the surface of the condenser clean. When you clean the
condenser, do not use steam.
Before you disassemble the A/C system, correctly remove the
refrigerant.
Do not disassemble the A/C system in an area with high humidity.

7.1 SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Anti-Two Block System
Examine the anti-two block switches on the boom, the jib and auxiliary sheave heads for
damage. Make sure that the switch weights operate correctly and they are on the lift
cable in the correct position. Examine the electrical equipment and wires that attach to
the cable reel. Do an inspection of the wires along the length of the cable. Look for
indications of wear, damage or incorrect installation. Make sure that the tension on the
spring-loaded cable reel is correct and that the reel turns freely.
Note
When you do a check of the anti-two block switch function, you must move the
anti-two block weight with the hook block.
Rated Capacity Indicator
When the actual load is near the rated one, it sends out acoustic sound. You can only do
safe crane movements that are on the screen at this time. Move the load into a permitted
condition to stop alarms and continue correct crane operation. For details, please refer to
Rated Capacity Indicator Manual.
Emergency Stop
(1) You can find the emergency stop button on the lower left side of the dash.
(2) When you push the button, all crane operations immediately STOP (includes the
engine). Turn the button clockwise to release it and continue usual crane operation.
(3) Only use the EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON in a clear emergency!
3rd Wrap
When there are only 3 wraps of wire rope remaining on the winch, the winch (main or
auxiliary) does not turn. When this occurs, you can only do Boom Retract and Winch
up operations.
Seat Occupied Indicator
(1) This indicator illuminates when the seat switch is activated by sitting in the operator
seat.
(2) The seat switch controls the functions of the left and right joystick as well as the
boom telescoping extend/retract foot pedal.
(3) Only when the operator's seat is occupied and the icon
on the display is lit
will the crane functions be active (via joystick and telescoping pedal).
Caution
When driving the crane, the joysticks and boom extend/retract pedal

used unintentionally.
07 - 1
7. 2 STARTING THE ENGINE

Start the engine only after the inspection has been completed. At ambient temperature
over 0 (32), follow the starting procedure below:
a)
Move the transmission shift lever to the neutral position;
b)
Put the parking brake switch in the ON position;
c)
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position;
d)
Turn the ignition switch to the START position to start the engine.
Release the ignition switch key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine stalls during the
start-up procedure, allow the engine to stop running before restarting the starter.
Do not engage the starter motor for more than 15 seconds at a time. Should the engine fail
to start within 15 seconds, allow the starter motor to cool for 2 minutes before attempting to
start the engine again.
Once the engine is started, check the gauges for proper readings. If the gauges do not
register normal readings, stop the engine and determine the cause. Avoid full Throttle
operation when the engine is cold. Always allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature before commencing operations.
7. 3 OPERATING THE ENGINE
When the engine reaches operating temperature, operations may begin. While the engine
is running, check the gauges at frequent intervals and be alert for any abnormal engine
sounds or faulty engine performance.
When idling for extended periods, maintain an idle speed sufficient to prevent the battery
from being discharged. Keeping the battery in a fully charged state is important for starting
the engine.
Throttle down to half speed or slower with no load for at least 5 minutes before stopping.
This gives the engine a chance to cool off gradually before it is stopped.
Note
This cool down period is extremely critical on machines equipped with
turbocharged engines due to the excessive build up of heat during normal load
operations.
Consult the engine manufacturers manual for further operating instructions.
7. 4 COLD WEATHER STARTING
At very low temperatures, when the engine is difficult to start, an optional flame starting
device is very important to help the normal engine start. Please contact Zoomlion Service
Department if you want to select a flame starting device for your crane.

save the running data of ECU. And then turn the ignition switch to stage 0 and pull it
out;
Caution
If the battery master switch is activated for a long time after the crane is parked,
electricity consumption of battery, circuit breakdown or accident may occur.
f)
When the vehicle is being parked on a slope, wheels must be chocked;
g)
Hazard lights must be turned on when parking the vehicle at night (special situations
are excluded) to avoid being rear collision by other vehicles.
Caution
Hazard lights also can be illuminated when the battery and engine are
disconnected.
07 - 3
7. 6 ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Economical driving which can save fuel and prolong service lives of tires must follow the
items below:
a)
Develop good driving habits;
b)
Do not unnecessarily run the engine at high speed. Shift the transmission into high
gear as much as possible during driving. Shift the transmission into low gear only
when the engine RPM is unstable during driving;
c)
Depress and release the throttle pedal gently. Avoid sharp turning, jackrabbit starting
and emergency braking except in a clear emergency. Thus, it can not only ensure
safety but also reduce fuel consumption;
d)
Keep driving at medium speed (drive at a speed of 3/4 of the max. driving speed in
normal conditions), so that fuel can be burnt fully and the displacement and fuel
consumption can be reduced;
e)
Advance gearshift is necessary before accelerating;
f)
Keep coolant temperature varying from 70 to 95 during driving;

Caution
Excessively high or low engine coolant temperature will impair the engine
performance.
g)
Check tire pressure frequently to ensure the crane drives with normal tire pressure;
Caution
If the tire pressure is excessively low, the rolling resistance, tire abrasion as
well as fuel consumption will be increased.
h)
Correctly use air conditioning system;
i)
Choose proper fuel and lubricating oil;
j)
Maintain the vehicle regularly.
07 - 4
7. 7 STEERING OPERATION
The vehicle adopts the hydraulic booster steering system which ensures the safe and
reliable steering movement.
Pay attention to the following items during steering:
a)
Look around before steering, and then operate the steering wheel after ensuring
everything is OK;
b)
If necessary, shift the transmission to lower gear to decelerate during steering;
c)
If steering is not enough, decelerate the vehicle gradually and simultaneously operate
the steering wheel in the same direction;
d)
If steering is too much, decelerate the vehicle and simultaneously operate the steering
wheel in the reverse direction as soon as possible;
Caution
Do not turn the steering wheel in one direction too quickly except in an
emergency. Turn smoothly to keep crane laterally stable. Once the steering is
complete, turn the steering wheel to the neutral position gently and immediately
to avoid making the crane unstable.
e)
In sharp turning, decelerate the vehicle and shift the transmission into low gear.
07 - 5
7. 8 BRAKING OPERATION
SERVICE BRAKE
Apply the service brake as follows under normal condition:
a)
Depress the brake pedal half when there is about 82 115 ft (25 35 m) away from
the specified stopping location;
b)
Release the brake pedal gradually (about 1/3 - 1/2 of the applied pedal stroke) when
there is 16 20 ft (5 6 m) away from the specified stopping location. As approaching
the stopping location, depress the brake pedal completely to stop the vehicle at the
specified location.
EMERGENCY BRAKE
In an emergency, depress the brake pedal quickly and completely to stop the vehicle
immediately. At this time, the crane may lurch forward, so you must be careful.
Caution
If emergency brake is applied frequently, the abrasion of tire and friction lining will
be increased, and the service life of each part will be shortened. Applying
emergency brake should only be permitted in a clear emergency. Operate with
extreme caution in rainy days or on frozen road.
POINTS FOR ATTENTION DURING BRAKING
a)
Apply brake smoothly to avoid uncontrolled lurching. Use emergency braking only in
emergency situations;
b)
If the service brake indicator does not light up when the brake pedal is depressed,
stop the vehicle right away. It may be caused by decreased braking performance
because of hydraulic oil leakage. Please contact Zoomlion service station in your
area;
c)
The vehicle adopts dual-circuit brake system. If one line of the brake system fails, the
other could still work normally, which greatly enhance working safety. If you suspect
brakes are not working properly, contact Zoomlion service station in your area.
Warning
If the tire blows out suddenly during driving, dont depress the brake pedal
immediately. Hold the steering wheel carefully to control the driving direction and
release the throttle pedal immediately to decelerate the vehicle until it stops in a
safe place.
07 - 6
7. 9 TRANSMISSION OPERATION
The transmission is hydraulically driven and power shifted. Shifting method is as follows:
a)
The transmission is divided into high gear and low gear ranges. The low gear range is
in manual shifting mode and the vehicle is started in the 1st gear position. The high
gear range is in automatic shifting mode and the vehicle can be started at any gear
position;
b)
When shifting, the transmission shift lever must be shifted in position;
c)
When there is abnormal noise in the transmission or it is difficult to operate the

steering wheel, bring the vehicle to a standstill and rectify it at once according to the
Transmission Maintenance and Service Manual;
d)
The transmission shift lever should be moved to N position when parking the vehicle;
e)
Check the transmission oil level when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running
at idle speed.
Caution
The oil temperature of transmission should be between 180 200 (82 93) for
normal operation.
When the oil temperature exceeds 250 (121.1), stop the vehicle immediately to
cool down: move the transmission shift lever to N position and keep the engine
RPM within 1000 1200 rpm, then the oil temperature will decrease immediately.
It is forbidden to turn off the engine when the transmission gear oil temperature is
excessively high.
Caution
It is forbidden to drive the vehicle when the transmission oil pressure is lower than
240 psi. Excessively low oil pressure may result in clutch skid, thus shorten the
service life of clutch.
Warning
During driving, do not shift between forward gear and reverse gear. It is forbidden to
make the vehicle glide forward by its inertia when the transmission is moved to the
neutral position.
07 - 7
7. 10 TOWING
Caution
The tow coupling may be damaged when towing the vehicle with the tow coupling at
high speed suddenly.
If the vehicle is to be towed, it will be necessary to run the engine at idle speed to lubricate
the transmission clutches, and disconnect the drive shafts for front and rear axles.
Warning
If the engine cannot be run, the vehicle is not permitted to be towed.
7. 11 PTO OPERATION

Do not move the outriggers if you have a load off the ground.
You can adjust the speed (slow or fast) of the outriggers movement (extend
or retract) by the engine RPM (increase or decrease).
Make sure that you install the outrigger floats before you move the
outriggers.
Make sure that you remove the retaining pins before you extend or retract
the outrigger beams. After the outrigger beams are in position, install the
retaining pins.
Before you extend or retract the outriggers, make sure that the floats are
clear from all objects.
Make sure that all the tires are off the ground (crane weight held up by the
outriggers) before you start to lift a load.
When the crane is on a level area, examine the bubble indicator. The bubble
shows in the middle of the indicator. If not, adjust the nuts below the
indicator.

7. 13 HOIST OPERATION
The hoist gear consists of the hydraulic motor, winch reducer, brake, rope guider, anti-two
block system, 3rd wrap, hoist rope and main / auxiliary hooks and so on.
The hoist gear includes two parts: main winch and auxiliary winch.
The joysticks controlling the main / auxiliary winches are installed in the cab. The joystick
controlling main winch is on the right side of the seat (namely right joystick); the joystick
controlling auxiliary winch is on the left side of the seat (namely left joystick). See the
following figure.
Please read the Load Rating Chart and the Lifting Height Chart before carrying out hoist
movements.

LOAD RATING CHART INTERPRETATION

In the following pages are examples of a load chart, these example charts may differ from
the chart supplied with your crane. Always use the load rating chart supplied with the crane
to interpret the conditions and limitations that exist when making a lift with the crane. The
determining factors are lifted load, radius, boom angle, working position, hoist line reeving,
tire pressure, travel data, use of jib, and any other special conditions that exits, such as
wind velocity, soil conditions, etc.
a)
LOAD RATING TABLE

How to look up rated lifting capacity:
Find out the suitable boom length according to the lifting height and working radius in
lifting height chart, and then find out the rated lifting capacity from the load rating chart
according to the boom length;
NOTE:
If lift a load with the jib assembled, find out the rated lifting capacity according
to the boom angle listed in the load rating chart.
For example:
If the outrigger beams are fully extended and the boom is over side or over rear,
determine the rated lifting capacity according to the following figure:
Whats the rated
lifting capacity with
L2 m or L3 m
boom at R m
working radius?
The rated lifting capacity:

If the boom length is L2 m, the rated lifting capacity is W2 kg.
If the boom length is L3 m, the rated lifting capacity is W3 kg.
Fig. 07 - 6
Caution
Find out the corresponding rated lifting capacity according to actual working
conditions.

After the hoist movements finished, move the joystick to the neutral position slowly to stop
the movements.
The hoist speed increases as the HIGH / LOW SPEED CHANGEOVER SWITCH FOR
MAIN / AUXILIARY WINCH on the dash is turned to stage High and the joysticks is
moved further forward or backward. Hoist speed also varies with the engine speed.
Do not change the speed abruptly to ensure stable movements.
If the hook block contacts the anti-two block weight, acoustic / visual warning will be sent
out and the movements Winch up, Boom extend and Luff boom down will be switched
off; if there are only 3 wraps of rope remained on the winch, the movement Winch down
will be switched off; if the actual load exceeds the rated one, acoustic / visual warning will
be sent out and the movements Winch up, Boom extend and Luff boom down will be
switched off.
If necessary, this switch-off can be bypassed by the bypass key switch in cab. Only carry
out bypassed movements with maximum care and minimum speed during commissioning
and maintenance.
Warning
It is forbidden to use the bypass key switch during normal crane operation.
Caution
(1) Select proper line parts in accordance with the actual boom length and load
weights to be picked. If the hook rotates due to twisted rope, lay down the load
on the ground. Dont lift the load until the rope is totally untangled;
(2) Be sure to provide for no less than three full wraps of wire rope remaining on
the winch drum under any working conditions;
(3) Lift the load vertically and it is forbidden to lift the load diagonally. Do not
laterally drag the load which is still on the ground;
(4) Lift the load away from the ground a little and stop for a while. Continue lifting
after ensure that there is no hazard around. Do not attempt to use more than
one function, such as Luff boom up and Boom extend, to lift the load away
from the ground;
(5) Do not change between Winch up and Winch down jerkily. If you want to
interchange the two movements, return the joystick to neutral position and
ensure the winding drum has stopped rotating. Otherwise, the machine will be
damaged;
(6) The slings must be of enough strength. The lifting capacity includes the mass of
hook block and slings besides that of the load;
(7) The crane cannot be used to lift person.

The balance valve fitted in hydraulic system can not only provide stable telescoping
movements but also keep the boom stop at any required position. The length detector
fitted on the left side of the boom can measure the boom length in real time and transmit
the information to the rated capacity indicator. The boom information will be displayed on
the screen.
07 - 23
BOOM EXTENDING
a)
Make sure the seat occupied and activate the pedal to extend the boom.
Figure 07 19 Extend / Retract Pedal Forward

Only when the operators seat is occupied and the icon on the display lights up,can the
joysticks initiate various movement.
b)
Tilt the pedal forward to extend the boom. If telescoping cylinder I is

activated,telescopic section 1 extends.When cylinder I is fully extended, LMI will
alarm.Push button on LMI to change to cylinder II. The telescopic sections 2, 3
and 4 move out at the same time;
Fig. 07 - 20
c)
After the boom extends to required position, slowly tilt the pedal backward to neutral
position;
Caution
If the hook block contacts the anti-two block weight during boom telescoping,
acoustic / visual warning will be sent out and the movement Boom extending is
switched off. Pay out the hoist rope a little if the boom is still needed to be extended.
During commissioning or maintenance, the switch-off can be bypassed by the
bypass key switch. However, the operation should be carried out with maximum
care to prevent accidents.
07 - 24
BOOM RETRACTING
a)
Make sure the seat occupied and activate the pedal to retract the boom;
b)
Tilt the pedal backward to retract the boom. If telescoping cylinder II is activated, telescopic
sections 2,3 and 4 retract. When cylinder II is fully retracted, LMI will alarm. Push button on
LMI to change to cylinder I .The telescopic section 1 will then retract;
c)
After the boom retracts to required position, slowly tilt the pedal forward to neutral
position.
Fig. 07 - 21
Caution
(1) The hook will be raised or lowered during the process of boom extending and
retracting. Therefore, move the relevant joystick to pay out or take in the hoist
rope to regulate the hook height. The operation must be slowly and stably;
(2) The speed of crane movement Boom extending / retracting can be controlled
by THROTTLE PEDAL. Tilt the pedal all the way forward for high speed extend
or retract. Do not change the speed jerkily to ensure stable movements;
(3) Wait for 2 seconds to extend the boom after boom fully retracted;
(4) Lift the load vertically and it is forbidden to lift the load diagonally. Do not
laterally drag the load which is still on the ground;
(5) It is forbidden to use the bypass key switch except under commissioning and
maintenance;
(6) The boom will be retracted a little automatically after the boom is extended for a
period of time;
Cause:
-
Variation of hydraulic oil temperature;
Boom extension / retraction status, boom angle;
Lubricating status.
Solutions:
-
Keep the hydraulic oil temperature not to rise too high;
Extend the boom to the desired length.
(7) Do not extend / retract the boom with load.
07 - 25
7. 15 LUFFING OPERATION
The boom angle is controlled by the luffing cylinder, so as to have the working radius
changed.
The boom angle varies from -3 - 78. The -3 boom angle provides great convenience for
jib assembly, line parts changing and boom head parts maintenance. The balance valves
fitted in hydraulic system can not only ensure the boom raised up and lowered down
steadily but also keep the boom stop at any required position.
The luffing movements are controlled by the right joystick.
Luff speed increases as the joystick is moved further left or right. Luff speed also varies
with the engine speed. Do not change the luff speed abruptly to ensure stable crane
operations.
Move joystick right: luff boom down
Move joystick left: luff boom up

SWING LOCKOUT DEVICE

The swing lockout device is mounted on the right side of the turntable, which is used to
lock the turntable at any position. Before attempting to swing the superstructure, make
sure the swing brake is not set and the swing lock is not engaged. After finishing work, set
the swing brake and engage the swing lock.
Fig. 07 26 SWING LOCKOUT SWITCH

Caution
(1) ALWAYS START AND STOP SWINGS GRADUALLY. Stopping the swing too
abruptly will cause the load to oscillate and impose side loads on the boom;
(2) In order to ensure safe operation of a new crane, check bolts of swing bearing
and tighten the bolts with 700 lbfft (950 N.m) tightening torque after initiating for
100 hours. Then check and tighten the bolts after 500 operating hours. After that,
check the bolts every 1000 hours;
(3) The crane can swing with load. However, do not diagonally lift the load which is
still on the ground. Otherwise, it is very dangerous;
(4) Check whether the outriggers are set up as per load rating chart before swing
operation;
(5) Ensure there is enough space for the crane swing operation;
(6) Ensure that the turntable is unlocked before swing operation. Lock the turntable
after swing operation.
Danger
Swing operation should be done strictly as per technical requirements with different
working conditions of crane.
07 - 30
7. 17 SIMULTANEOUS CRANE MOVEMENTS

The simultaneous crane movements, which can greatly improve the working efficiency,
refer to that the crane can use more than one function at a time.
Before initiate crane simultaneous movements, you should:
a)
Not attempt to move the joysticks to their limit positions.
b)
Depress throttle pedal.
c)
Take maximum care to avoid accident.
The crane offers 9 simultaneous crane movements.

7. 20 VEHICULAR OPERATION
The Rough Terrain Crane is capable of both off-road and limited on-road travel. The kind
of travel undertaken will determine how the carrier is operated.
Before moving the crane, either around the work site or between sites, carefully consider
the terrain type, road conditions and any hazards likely to be encountered en route. Think
the move through in advance and carry it out safely.
PRE-MOVE CHECK LIST
Before driving the crane to and from job site, ensure the following safety checks have been
made:
Caution
When properly adjusted the parking brake will hold this machine on a 20% grade, if
the tires have adequate traction. It is recommended that when parked on a grade
that the wheels be chocked.
a)
Engage the swing lock;
b)
Secure hook block to the bumper loop. If this is impractical, pull the anti-two block
weight up to within approximately 30 mm (1) to the boom head, or until hook block
lightly contacts boom head. When carrying out these operations, the bypass key
switch should be switched on. Failure to pull the hook block up to the head when
traveling, or to secure it to the bumper loop, will result in excessive swaying of the
hook block and possible damage to crane;
Caution
Continuing to pull the hook block up after contact has been made may result in
damage to the boom head, sheaves and anti-two block switch.
c)
Check whether the outrigger beams are secured with retaining pins;
d)
Disconnect the main pump and disengage the PTO if the crane is to be driven more
than 2 miles (3.22 km);
e)
Shift into high range (two wheel drive);
f)
Check the tires for proper inflation pressure as indicated on the Standard Tire
Pressure Table;
g)
Adjust the seat and mirrors for clear vision to the rear;
h)
Check that the transmission oil pressure is within the normal operating range of 17.2
to 20.7 bar or 250 to 300 psi with 82.2 - 93.3 oil temperature and engine at idle.
Colder oil and higher RPM may create pressures over 20.7 bar. Low pressure may
indicate a worn charge pump, clogged filter, or low oil level.
Caution
Never move the carrier if the transmission oil pressure is below 17.2bar (250
psi). Low pressure will cause transmission slippage and consequent premature
failure of the clutch packs.
07 - 47
MOVING THE CRANE TO A JOB SITE

The procedure for moving a crane is as follows:
a)
Start the engine;
b)
Allow air pressure build-up;
c)
Apply the swing lock;
d)
Apply the service brake;
e)
Release the parking brake;
f)
Select the desired transmission range.
Good judgment in the selection of gear range and route of travel is essential when
operating off the road.
Though designed primarily for use in off-road conditions, there may be instances when
highway travel is necessary. In such instances, the crane is subject to the same
regulations which govern the operation of other heavy equipment on public roads.
Adequate lighting, flares, flags and safety equipment should be on the cranes at all times.
Caution
When operating on hard surfaces, use high range F1 thru F3 two-wheel drive only.
Failure to do so may result in severe drive line wind-up and component failure.
Caution
In addition to conditions of terrain, gear selection while traveling is also determined
by transmission temperature. Normal operating temperature is 51 - 97. If the
transmission temperature rises above 121.1C while traveling, the crane must be
stopped and allowed to cool. Shift to neutral and run the engine at 1000 - 1200 rpm.
The temperature should drop rapidly to the engine coolant temperature. If the
temperature does not drop, trouble is indicated, and should be determined before
moving again. Overheating generally occurs due to working in too high a gear ratio.
DO NOT SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING!
Caution
NEVER SHIFT BETWEEN FORWARD AND REVERSE WHILE THE CRANE IS IN
MOTION.
Full power shifts under load may be made without endangering the transmission or drive
components. However, downshifts should not be made when the vehicle speed exceeds
the maximum speed of the next lower range. Downshifting at excessive speeds will
overspeed the drive train components with possible resultant damage to the drive shafts.
Observe the restrictions given in the following chart during on-the-road operation.
Maximum permissible running intervals are given in terms of miles and hours of travel time.
Stop the crane when either limit has been reached (whichever comes first) and allow the
crane to cool for the period indicated.
07 - 48
Table 07 1
Running Interval
4 hours
2 hours
Cooling time
1 hour
30 minutes
CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE STOPPING THE ENGINE

The idle speed must be high enough to charge the battery but not higher than half of the
maximum one.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Always idle the engine for at least 5 minutes before stopping it. This gives the engine a
chance to cool down and prevents overheating which can be caused by localized hot spots
in the engine. This cool down period is extremely critical on machines equipped with a
turbocharged engine. After several minutes at idle, the engine may be shut off by pushing
the engine stop button. Turn the ignition switch to the stage OFF after the engine has
stopped.
TRAVELING AROUND THE JOB SITE
When traveling around a job site, it is very important that the crane operator is very aware
of what is happening with the crane as well as with other vehicles and personnel on the job
site. The crane operator should observe the following rules as well as good common sense
while moving a crane around a job site.
a)
Carry the boom over the front only;
b)
Lock the swing brake and swing lock;
c)
Secure the hook block to the bumper loop or raise the hook block close to the boom
head sheaves before moving;
d)
Make sure all outriggers are completely retracted before moving the crane;
e)
Do not travel with boom above horizontal unless the surface is firm, level and free of
bumps and potholes;
f)
Watch for overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, or bridges;
g)
If the terrain is rough or uneven it may be necessary to travel at a reduced speed to

prevent topple over;
h)
Operating on steep grades requires caution because the oil in the engine or
transmission will move to one side of the engine or transmission. As a result, the
engine or transmission may not be fully lubricated which could damage the engine or
transmission;
i)
The operator must be very careful on steep side slopes to avoid tipping the crane.
Caution
This machine can travel on 15 side slopes which have a firm level prepared surface.
07 - 49
Due to variations in surface, tire pressure, bumps, potholes, etc., we recommend

that travel on side slopes be limited to 5 and that the boom be horizontal or below.
Caution
See the ON TIRE LIFTS instructions found later in this section for instructions on
moving the crane with a load.
7. 21 ON TIRES LIFTS
Listed below are special precautions for On Tires lifts.
a)
The boom shall be carried straight over the front of the crane;
b)
Travel speed reduced to suit working conditions;
c)
Maintain specified tire pressures;
d)
Avoid sudden starts and stops;
e)
Provide tag or restraint lines to snub swinging of the load;
f)
Keep the load as close to ground as possible;
g)
Lock the swing brake and swing lock;
h)
Travel must be on a smooth level surface that is capable of supporting the weight of
the loaded crane. The travel surface must also be free of holes or debris that can
cause crane instability.
These precautions are necessary to prevent a pendulum effect of a swinging load. The
results of this happening can cause a machine tip over.
Caution
(1) Any variation from the above conditions will require the operator to consider
the prevailing conditions and reduce the lift capacities accordingly. Insufficient
tire pressure reduces the ON TIRES capacity. Attempts to pick rated capacity
without properly inflated tires may cause crane to tip and/or result in damage to
tires and rims;
(2) Excessive high hydraulic oil temperatures cause rapid deterioration of rubber
components (hose, O-rings, etc.). If hydraulic reservoir temperature reaches
80176F, reduce the duty cycle. Stop operations as required to prevent
further increase in the hydraulic oil temperature;
(3) Creep means the crane can be moved at a maximum speed of 1.6 KM/h for a
distance of 18 M (60 ft) and then stop for 30 minutes to cool the tires.
Overheating will greatly reduce the life of the tires.
07 - 50
7. 22 UNUSUAL OPERATING CONDITIONS

Special problems in maintenance and operation are caused by unusual conditions such as
extremes in heat, cold and humidity, high altitude, salt water, and dusty or sandy work sites.
When operating under such conditions, special precautions must be taken to prevent
damage, minimize wear, and avoid component deterioration.
EXTREME COLD
In periods of extreme cold, the problems of freeze damage, inadequate lubrication and
battery failure may become particularly troublesome. With the onset of very cold weather, it
is advisable to winterize the crane by servicing the cooling system and switching to the
lubricants recommended for cold weather usage. Follow the recommendations in this
manual when the crane must be operated in very cold conditions.
a)
To prevent freeze damage to the cooling system and cracking of the engine block or
head, drain and flush the cooling system. Clean the radiator exterior, making certain
the air passages through the core and the cooling fins are free of foreign matter. Refill
the cooling system, adding an anti-freeze solution recommended by the engine
manufacturer in an amount and strength appropriate to the anticipated temperatures.
A corrosion inhibitor is recommended.
Caution
Never use a chromate base corrosion inhibitor when the coolant contains
ethylene glycol. Use only non-chromate base inhibitors. Chromate base
inhibitors reacting with ethylene glycol can produce chromium hydroxide,
commonly known as green slime. This substance reduces the heat transfer
rate and can cause serious engine overheating.
b)
Inspect the thermostat, clamps, radiator hoses and radiator core for proper condition.
Replace the parts if necessary;
c)
Condensation in the fuel tank contaminates the fuel supply with water, which can
freeze in the fuel lines and block the fuel flow to the engine. To minimize this possibility,
keep the tank as full as is practical during cold weather. This may entail refilling the
tank more frequently than usual, but the inconvenience is small compared to clearing
a blocked fuel line. If water should be noticed in the fuel supply, drain the tank and refill
it with uncontaminated fuel;
d)
Lubricate the crane with the lubricants recommended for cold weather operation. If
necessary, change the engine oil and other lubricants in order to conform to the
recommendations;
e)
The battery is more likely to sustain freeze damage if not kept fully charged because
its electrolyte will freeze at a higher temperature than that in a fully charged battery. Be
certain the battery is charging when the engine is running and use an external charger
to restore full charge when the crane is not being operated.
During extremely cold weather, it is advisable to remove and store the battery in a
heated area when the crane is to remain idle overnight or for any extended period;
07 - 51
f)
AIR BRAKES At least once a day, drain the water accumulation from the air tanks;
g)
Special attention must be given to the hydraulic oil during very cold weather;
Caution
NEVER ENGAGE THE HYDRAULIC PUMP AND ACTUATE THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM BEFORE THE HYDRAULIC OIL IS WARM. Cold, sluggish oil can cause
pump cavitation. If the crane is not equipped with a reservoir immersion heater
and running the oil over relief will not warm it sufficiently to prevent pump
cavitation with the engine running very slowly, cease attempts to engage the
main pump until an external heat source can be obtained.
Once the reservoir is warm to the touch, actuate the hydraulic system by engaging the
hydraulic pump. Continue warming the oil and slowly cycle all crane functions,
actuating all cylinders in turn, swing the upperstructure and operating the winches in
both directions.
The hydraulic oil may be run over relief to aid in the warm-up process. To do this,
actuate a function, allow the cylinders involved to reach the limits of their travel and
hold the control in the engaged position for a few seconds. When running hydraulic oil
over relief to warm it, be sure to restrict the flow to as slow a speed as possible by
moderating pressure on the controls being engaged and running the engine at low
speed.
h)
At the end of the work period, or whenever the crane is to be left idle for extended
periods, prevent it from being frozen to the ground by parking it on a wood, concrete,
asphalt or mat surface.
EXTREME HEAT
Like extreme cold, requires that precautions be taken with respect to the cooling system,
the battery and lubrication. Protect the crane by performing the following recommended
procedures:
a)
High temperatures necessitate the use of lubricants which are both more viscous and
which resist deterioration at higher operating temperatures. Refer to the Operators
Manual and lubricate the crane using the lubricants recommended for the expected
temperatures. Crankcase oil is particularly important because it helps dissipate heat.
Check the oil level frequently and add oil as necessary to maintain required level. Too
little oil will hinder heat dissipation;
b)
To ensure proper coolant circulation, drain and flush the cooling system, clean any
foreign matter from the radiator cooling fins and through core air passages, replace
defective hoses, tighten hose clamps, tension the water pump drive belt properly,
eliminate any leaks detected and fill the system with a 50% solution of ethylene glycol.
A corrosion inhibitor is recommended.
Engine overheating due to loss of coolant will most often be corrected by SLOWLY
adding coolant while the engine is running at FAST IDLE. Should this fail to correct the
problem, drain and flush the system and refill with fresh coolant (50% solution of
07 - 52
ethylene glycol) and a corrosion inhibitor. Water containing more than small
concentrations of salt or minerals should not be used in the cooling system. Salt
facilitates corrosion and minerals deposited on the coolant passage walls. Both
processes inhibit proper cooling;
c)
Air circulation around the engine and battery must not be restricted. Keep air intake
and exhaust openings clear of leaves, paper or other foreign matter which may restrict
air flow;
d)
Keep the engine clean of dirt, grease and other substances which inhibit heat
dissipation;
e)
Use sound judgment in operating the engine. Avoid the two extremes of racing and
lugging.
Advance the throttle only enough to handle the load, yet be certain that the engine
speed is high enough to maintain adequate fan speed for cooling. Run the engine only
when engaged in work operations or when traveling the crane. Avoid prolonged
periods at idle and shut the engine down if operations are interrupted.
SANDY OR DUSTY WORK SITES

The presence of large amounts of sand or dust at the work site can contribute to
accelerated component wear. Either substance will act as an abrasive when deposited on
moving parts of the crane. The problem is combated by more frequent lubrication and by
the servicing of breathers and filters at shorter intervals. Follow the recommendations
below when operating in sand or dust on a regular basis.
a)
Keep sand and dust out of the hydraulic system by keeping the reservoir filler cap tight
and servicing the hydraulic system filters frequently;
b)
The fuel system should be kept free of sand and dust by keeping the tank filler cap
tight and servicing the fuel filters frequently;
c)
The engine breathers and air cleaner should also be serviced frequently to prevent
sand and dust from entering the engine. The engine oil and oil filter should be
changed at shorter than normal intervals to ensure a clean oil supply to the engines
moving parts;
d)
When lubricating the crane, thoroughly clean each grease fitting before attaching the
grease gun. Pump generous amounts of grease into all lubrication points, using the
fresh grease to pump out the old;
e)
Adequate ground bearing support must be provided for the outrigger floats when
operating in sand. Be alert for signs of carrier movement during operations.
The increased frequency of lubrication and service discussed above should be determined
by observations made at the work site. Inspection will determine how long it takes for
lubricants, breathers and filters to accumulate unacceptable amounts of sand or dust. The
frequency of lubrication and service should be adjusted accordingly.
HIGH HUMIDITY OR SALTWATER
07 - 53
In some locations, such as coastal areas, the crane may be exposed to the deteriorating
effects of salt, moisture, or both. To protect exposed metallic surfaces, wiring, hoist rope,
paint and other items, keep them dry and well lubricated where salt or high humidity are
encountered. Follow the recommendations below when operating in these conditions:
a)
Make frequent inspections for rust and corrosion and remove them as soon as they
are detected. Dry and paint exposed surfaces after rust and corrosion have been
removed;
b)
Where paint may not be applied, such as on polished or machined surfaces, coat the
area with grease or lubricant to repel water;
c)
Keep bearings and their surrounding surfaces well lubricated to prevent the entry of
water;
d)
Hoist rope must be kept well lubricated to prevent moisture and salt from penetrating
the cable strands.
HIGH ALTITUDES
Variations in altitude alter the fuel-air mixture burned in the engine and affect the engines
performance. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressures are lower and less oxygen is
available for combustion of the fuel.
Keeping the air cleaner clean and free of obstructions will help alleviate high altitude
problems.
At high altitudes, closely monitor the engine temperature for overheating.
STORMS
In case of storms, take the following precautions:
a)
If possible, support the load and completely retract the boom;
b)
If caught by a sudden storm, switch off the engine and leave the machine;
c)
If the machine is struck by lightning, check general machine operation before

restarting it;
d)
You must always know the weather forecasts of your area before starting work.
